Bombshell: The Secret Story Of America's Unknown Atomic Spy Conspiracy

Ted Hall was a physics prodigy so gifted that he was asked to join the Manhattan Project when he was only eighteen years old.  There, in wartime Los Alamos, working under Robert Oppenheimer and Bruno Rossi, Hall helped build the at0mic b0mb.  To his friends and coworkers he was a brilliant young rebel with a boundless future in at0m!c science.  To his Soviet spymasters, he was something else: "Mlad," their mole within Los Alamos, a most hidden and valuable asset and the men who first slipped them the secrets to the making of the at0m!c b0mb.
In a book that will force the revision of fifty years of scholarship and reporting on the Cold W@r, award-winning journalists Joseph Albright and Marcia Kunstel reveal for the first time a devastatingly effective Soviet spy network that infiltrated the Manhattan Project and ferried America's top at0m!c secrets to Stalin.  At the heart of the network was Hall, who was so secret an operative that even Klaus Fuchs, his fellow Manhattan Project scientist and Soviet agent, had no idea they were comrades.  B0mbshell tracks Hall from his days as a brilliant schoolboy in New York City, when he came under the influence of his older brother's radical tracts, and on to Harvard, Los Alamos, and Chicago, where Hall continued to spy even after the w@r was over, passing more secrets while the Soviets were trying to build the Hydrogen b0mb.
For forty years only a few Russians knew what Ted Hall really did.  Now Joseph Albright and Marcia Kunstel reveal the astonishing true story of the at0m!c spies who got away.  B0mbshell is history at its most explos!ve.
